"I would like to face the winner between Margarito and Cotto, even though I know that Cotto wouldn't face me even if his life depended on it," states Martinez. "Cotto wouldn't even accept to play a soccer match against me. It's sad but it's the truth. Cotto could make some good money against me, but he knows that things will get complicated for him."
If Margarito happens to win that bout, Martinez would be interested in avenging his first and only clear-cut professional defeat, a seventh round TKO suffered at the hands of the 'Tijuana Tornado' over 11 years ago.
"If Margarito can show that he's evolved after his loss to Pacquiao, I would like a rematch against him," confirms Martinez. "It would be a great fight and we could promote it well and for a good purse."
What if neither of these proposed bouts pans out?
"I will continue shooting for a fight with Manny Pacquiao," states Maravilla. "I heard that he would fight me at 150lbs, which I think is crazy for me, but it's worth it since I can't even get a chance to regain my WBC middleweight championship. I would take all of the necessary precautions so that making 150lbs doesn't negatively affect me. I'd look for the best doctors and specialists to make weight safely and to be in condition to fight Pacquiao."

"I would like to face either [Mayweather or Pacquiao]. They're both grandiose. A win against either guy would do so much for me - not just financially but also for my legacy in this sport. It would put me in a higher place than I am now. My time will come though."
